What do you think Mustafa Acikgöz has in mind regarding those who would “Christianize the Muslim faith”? Would that involve making it less violent, supremacist and unforgiving? If not, what else might he mean? “NRW: Erdogan politician holds hate speech in mosque! ‘Will They Destroy,’” translated from “NRW: Erdogan-Politiker hält Hass-Rede in Moschee! „Werden sie […]
Syria: Drone catches Islamic State jihadi hiding in field, arrest leads to other cell members
The battle against the Islamic State (ISIS) is far from over. The group is expanding operations in Africa and has dispersed throughout the Middle East; it has since begun trying to regroup there.

Turkey’s ambassador to Czechia claims European officials are indifferent to rising ‘Islamophobia’
Egemen Bağış speaks about “racist and discriminatory practices in education and social life,” but actually, Islam is not a race, and there are Muslims of all races.

Turkey: Muslims enraged, demand arrest of journalist for revealing Muslim cleric’s marriage to a child
This is a quite common phenomenon. Supporters of jihad violence and Sharia oppression routinely grow enraged over the reporting of news items that make jihad or Islam look bad, however accurate that news may be.

Turkey escalates war on Kurds, ready to launch aggressive ground assault amid warnings by Russia and West
Syrian Kurdish fighters have been fighting against the Islamic State for years, and have managed to create “a semi-autonomous region in Northern Syria.” After Kurdish fighters “consolidated control over territory captured from the Islamic State in northern Syria, Turkey and Turkish-backed Syrian militias, including the Free Syrian Army (FSA), moved to recapture cities and expel […]
At UN Forum, Turkey’s foreign minister claims that ‘Islamophobia’ continues to increase everywhere
For many years now I have pointed out repeatedly that the term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary.

Afghanistan: Supreme leader orders full implementation of Sharia, including public executions, stonings, amputations
Sharia is divine law in normative Islam. The brutality and extreme human rights abuses that are being perpetrated in Afghanistan (and in other Sharia jurisdictions) is in full accordance with Sharia, despite the routine branding of critics of Islam. Under the Sharia: Hudud crimes (apostasy, revolt against the ruler, theft, highway robbery, adultery, slander, and […]
Erdogan Outraged By ‘Terror’ From the PKK, But Not From Hamas
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey has since last year been engaged in a charm offensive directed at Israel. His essential antipathy to the Jewish state has not changed, but the Turkish economy is in a mess, with an 80% inflation rate, and he thinks that there is much to be gained from cooperation with […]
Turkey: Hijabbed woman arrested for Istanbul bombing that killed six people
The Turkish government says the bombing was the work of the PKK, who are Kurdish separatists, not jihadis. The PKK denies involvement. The hijab that the accused bomber is wearing may be an indication of her allegiances and perspectives, or it may simply be some kind of decoy or disguise. “Woman holding rose arrested over […]
